Match This

Yesterday was our Property Final:

1. True / False: This was the easiest part of the exam; 10 questions, 50/50 chance of getting it right.

2. Common Law / Oregon Revised Statutes: If the statement was a common law rule, you circled it. Then, if the common law rule was replaced by statute, you put an "X" next to it. If the statement wasn't a common law rule, you did nothing.

3. Matching: A fill-in-the-blank exercise except there were about 25 questions and the possible terms that could be used to fill in the blank numbered about 45. In addition, all of the terms could be used more than once and some of the terms were never used.

4. Best possible answer based on a map of neighboring properties: Fortunately, there were only 5 questions and it was really all about easements.

5. Essay question hypo about deeds, conveyancing, recording, adverse possession, and damages: I don't remember what I wrote but I wrote something.

The exam was exactly what Professor Property indirectly promised - 3 hours of pain. But hey, Property is done - mark it down on the big board. Two finals to go...then 2L has arrived.

Power to the people.
